If however, the political subdivision, county, or municipality collects a fine that exceeds one hundred twenty five percent of the amount of the maximum fine allowed for that violation in this chapter, the political subdivision, county, or municipality shall remit to the State Treasurer to be credited to the state general fund the amount of excess fines collected.
